Description
This opportunity supports clinical research and clinical trials that deliver interventions, innovations, and solutions in critical areas of dementia care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD) and their care partners. The program emphasizes person-centered, community-informed research that leads to improved quality of life, reduced caregiver burden, and increased support for those living with dementia. Projects must demonstrate feasibility and a realistic approach to scaling and implementation.
Distinctive features include:
- Community collaboration as a required component.
- Multiple principal investigators (PIs) allowed under the Career Initiation or Transition (CIT) Partnership Option.
- Focus on non-incremental advances in dementia care (not medical/pharmacological interventions administered by physicians).
- Clinical trials are allowed, but animal studies and trials solely testing pharmacological interventions are not.
